My Green 33 N/a - Now Rb25det Conversion

[GTS4WD]

safe = yes, if done correctly. none of this home cordless drill rubbish.

Ghetto modification is based on:

1 x Cordless drill

1 x Angle grinder and 1 x big f***k off disk

1 x big hammer

1 x crowbar

374m of electrical tape

867 x cable ties

Follow these simple steps and you WILL run 9s and drift like Tsuchia!

.. how do you think im so awesome!?!..

EUG do you have msn, same as you GTS4WD, i'd like to have a chat about them.

Nah mate.. Dont have much time for it.. sorry..

but feel free to shoot me through a PM if you need anything

Calipars will fit without any problems..

make sure you bleed the brakes after playing around with them to ensure there isnt any air in the system

I still think unless your doing trackwork or full song through twisties a pair of awesome brake pads should be sufficient for street driving.. especially if you have ABS

lol @ cable ties...

well i thought the idea to have more power was to do track work? i mean what good is 300HP when at the end of the day you're doing 100km/hr, same as the 50HP barina beside you on the freeway.

"well i thought the idea to have more power was to do track work? i mean what good is 300HP when at the end of the day you're doing 100km/hr, same as the 50HP barina beside you on the freeway." Lol that is funny, but also true, nah i'd like to update the brakes as well, i mean i have the parts sitting in my garage so why not?

How do i know if the braking system is ABS is there an easy way to tell?

I found out the my diff ratio is lower than a normal gts-t so i have alot of acceleration of the mark which is great. I would like to do a bit of track work, hillc climbs, circuit races and the odd run down the 1/4! So i think brakes should be done?

GTS4WD you said "Calipars will fit without any problems.. " Now is this with the new ghetto style rotors put on or the NA33 Rotors left on the car?

The calipars will fit in the DBA rotors without a problem.. just ensure that the with is the same on each..

then bobs your uncle.. well.. i dunno.. do you have an uncle called bob?

I would definately get DBA's if your planning on doing all of the things you want to do.. id suggest even get a set of slotted and drilled ones as an upgrade.. save you from buying them later and spending money now on stocko ones..

but thats just me..

well actually i do have an unlce called bob which is kinda funny n weird! lol i like the sound of the drilled and slotted, but yeaha being a uni student money is rare, so i was thinking maybe just stock DBA rotors with gts-t calipers...its sufficent enough correct??

Any of you guys have an alternator for me!! i need one!

LOL!.. ahmen!.. I know the uni life..

You could lay off going full throttle for a while till you save the money and buy them..

*sigh*.. damn uni.. Im stuggling to see if I can find the funds to do my 3L bottom end..

P.s.. and thats just wreird about ur uncle..

*hi5* to the uni club...

that is both weird and creepy about the uncle.

slotted dba/rda's are cheap as chips - you're only looking a few bucks more than the standard replacements (better again if you've got club sponsorship or group buy).

more than sufficient for any sort of mild application.

haha nice we all @ uni? crazy wat uni's we @? i''m @ griffith doing psychology, just finished my first year so i cheering. I fitted a new alternator today it stopped my squeeling problem (look in my topics) however it off another rb25de will this matter? everything seems to be going ok? tighened all the belts and everything better than they already were took it to pick up the miss's and she drove beautifully, problem solved! was fun lil job to do as well. As for the brakes going to get them a freshen up tomorow (The calipers anyway!) laterz...

[GTS4WD]

Yeah.. As Eug said.. I really do thing slotted are the way to go.. its worth the extra ~$100.. even if you do have to wait till next pay cheak..

[H@ME]

Ahh for sure! bring on the mullah! i wanna see that 3ltr engine conversion Eugene!!

So your @ UQ! hmmm i was there last week doing a virtual driving study participation. i all finished uni for the year! yay Anyhow will clean up brakes tomorrow anything specific i can look for in them?

[Eug]

haha yeah i'd like to do it - but it'd have to be a project for a race car or something. as much as i like the RB motors, they are getting way too dated to keep up with all the new tech. i'd have to sink $10K to be happy with it.

what you can look for in the brakes:

- inspect rubber seals, no cracks etc. depends on how long they've been sitting around

- check for rust, pistons moving freely, nothing seized.

- make sure you have all the necessary pins and backing plates

- banjo bolts and nipples in good order

- make sure the calipers themselves have a good flush of fluid and aren't leaking

[GTS4WD]

Cheak hoses and make sure their not perished, cuts etc.

or

slap some braided brake lines on too

Hey guys i know there is another thread open by PVA_glue about braking issues however since this is about my car, thought i'd keep it in my section, i have the gts-t front rotors drilled to 5-stud and the gts-t calipers. I don't have all the money in the world right now but i really would like to fit these breaks onto my car.

1. will the calipers (gts-t) fit on the GTS rotors? are the rotors too small in diameteR?

2. is it cheaper/better for my to just by blank DBA rotors drilled to 4stud, or redrill the 5-stud ones to suit 4 stud.

2. or should i do the whole thing (conversion) eg buy new hubs etc, this way i already have the rotors etc...

just something to keep the mind going....

regards hamo!
